As you know, we're taking a breather in 2017 in order to collect ourselves and get settled into life in Washington. We look forward to resuming tour activities with you all in 2018!

In the meantime, there has been no shortage of Parkwest-related adventures. We got to visit Team Big Bird in January and tour the Reagan Museum with them. Later, this Cat Herder found herself back East visiting the Seneca Squad: Mike, Ginny, Ed and Laura. Since then, I've enjoyed a fun overnight with Stan and Sharon to watch the painful loss of Gonzaga in the basketball finals and, just last week, I found myself having fun in the sun (and rain) with Garney, Robin and Shane in Nashville--on the ground, in the air, over water.

Somewhere in all of that, Mike and Ginny have embarked on several adventures of their own, including landing N678MG at Cape Canaveral on the space shuttle runway! What a trip!

Future Parkwest plans include a visit from the Hollowells and an eclipse party with the Alpine, Wyoming contingent, both in August.
